2026 NRL Hooker Post-Contact Share of Run Metres leaders

Post-contact metres as a percentage of total run metres. A share above a third means a player keeps driving after the first hit rather than relying on open-field speed, and it is a signature of the game's hardest runners. This page ranks Hooker players for the 2026 season. Current leaders include Billy Walters, Apisai Koroisau, Brandon Smith.
